Quick Summary:
FCT High Court orders arrest of PDP factional chairman Kabiru Turaki over alleged false information to police.
A Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court has ordered the arrest of Kabiru Turaki, the factional national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Justice U.P. Kekemeke issued the order after Turaki failed to appear before the court in a case filed by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP).
The judge ruled that Turaki had no justification for his absence and directed that he be arrested and brought before the court to face trial.
Charge of False Information
The Inspector-General of Police filed a one-count charge against Turaki, accusing him of providing false information to the police in a petition dated October 2022.
The case, which has been pending before the FCT High Court, centers on allegations that Turaki misled investigators through the petition.
Justice Kekemeke’s order marks a new phase in the legal proceedings, as the court moves to compel Turaki’s attendance for arraignment.
